How Do These Alignment Cams Differ?
Development began over a year ago when a need for a solid alignment kit that wouldn’t roll around like the OEM cams and have more than 3 adjustment options. We found many trucks we worked on would benefit greatly from having more alignment options that would allow for better stance and longer tire life.
Enter the Octagon!
By using an octagon it allows for 5 points of alignment without compromising durability! The Benefit of an octagon is opposing parallel sides and like a square it will have 2 solid sides contacting the cam tabs.
We designed these octagonal cams to be a drop-in option for your truck meaning they do not require any modification to the frame.
Weak Cam Tabs
The Factory Toyota cam tabs are one of the weakest links on these vehicles. The Cam tabs are not strong and are the first thing to bend with any amount of offroad activity. Our cam tab upgrade kit is laser cut out of 3/16″ steel plate ensuring tight tolerances and high strength. This kit will require grinding off the old cam tabs and welding these in their place.
Our cam tabs can used with the OEM cams but for best results should be paired with our octagonal alignment cams. With these 2 options you should never pop out of alignment from slipping or rotating alignment cams again!
Proper Bolt Shanking
Bolt shanking is critical for ensuring your alignment tab holes do not start to wallow out over the years. Under shear load (see the illustration), the bolt experiences force perpendicular to its axis. Bolts with proper shanking will provide tighter tolerances and with the absence of these stress concentration points will increase the bolt’s performance and lifespan.
All bolts offered in our kit are properly shanked for a precise, tight, and long lasting fit.
Holding it all Together
Many similar kits use a Nylock nuts to hold everything together. As you may know there is not a ton of room between your alignment cams and expensive steering rack. Nylocks perform fine however they are thick and one-time use items. Any time you remove your nylcok nut you should replace it. For these reasons we opted to go with Stover nuts. Stover lock nuts are a one piece, all-metal nut. The locking action, created by distortion of their top threads, they are capable of withstanding severe vibration and shock loads. The Stover Nuts are smaller than a Nylock nuts, which will allow for more clearance between the nut and the steering rack.
